Jimi Hendrix – Band Of Gypsys (1970)

“Jimi and the new band recorded this at the Fillmore East in 1969. Astonishing performances and an incredible record. Ezy Ryder is one of my favorites. The guitar playing on that one is remarkable.

“There was something about Jimi that was different from other guitarists in that he changed the way people heard the guitar. He was brilliant in the studio, of course, but I really like the rawness of these live recordings. You can hear him responding to the other musicians, but he’s every bit as creative as he was in the studio. That's pretty special.”
